"I could not be happier to see Ben receive this well-deserved award," says Governor Sisolak. "What Ben accomplished at Sunrise Mountain High School—from creating an after-school robotics club to creating an after-school ACT bootcamp—should be applauded, but Ben's true brilliance is evident in his efforts to reach out beyond his own school, recognizing that lasting educational change comes from a comprehensive strategy that targets all grade levels in a community."
